Single-flute VHM spiral end mill for aluminium with upward chip removal – clean lower edge and efficient chip evacuation

Index: SP01.10.055.100.10R

Industrial single-flute spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, welding, and edge truing in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry with a single cutting edge (Z1), combined with a polished chip groove, effectively prevents material from sticking and building up on the cutting edge. The right-hand helical flute swiftly removes chips upwards, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and ensuring a clean, finished edge surface. The ground shank with a precision class of H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Single-flute Z1 design (positive): A single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip groove: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents aluminium chips from sticking and welding to the body of the end mill.
• Finishing edge geometry: The precisely ground edge allows for a clean surface finish without the need for additional finishing operations.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM structure dampens vibrations and ensures a long tool life when working with non-ferrous metals.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground surface of the shank protects against slipping in the tool holder and safeguards the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing to class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Purpose and scope of application:

The tool is intended for cutting operations as well as welding and edge truing in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

Used for machining materials such as: aluminium, ALUCOBOND® panels, ALUCOBOND® A2, plastics and composites like CORIAN® and HPL.
